I come on here like every day to have a looksie at everything…but i hardly ever post at all XD

A short film we made fairly recently 

The Dark Knight (2008)
Batman faces off against the insane anarchist mastermind that is The Joker, who pushes him to his limits, just because he can.
I’m not going to write an essay like i tend to do for other films, cos I’m pretty sure everyone knows how epic this film is XD
I love the fact with every single Batman movie since, like the 80s, you never really want Batman to win XD. All the villains are so much cooler, and heath ledger completely steals the spotlight with his awesome adapt. of The Joker. you get a real feel of his insane desires.
This is also one of the very few movies that im glad they changed from the comic version, as I love the fact you don’t really understand whats going on in the Jokers head all the time, or how he got his scars…
should really mention someone other than heath ledger…. Christopher Nolan! possibly the perfect director to choose for the Batman relaunch. he sort gives all the characters a more believable, real life feel about them without loosing this kinda fantasy world feel and the sort of super hero/villain vibe.
also has one of my favorite film quotes ever in it…
“you see, I’m like a dog chasing cars…I wouldn’t know what to do with one if  I caught it.”
so yeah, another one out of the book.

Dawn of the Dead (1978)
‘Dawn of the Dead’ follows a group of four people who have gained refuge in a secluded shopping mall following a zombie outbreak. This is one of the cult classics of horror films full stop, and has pretty much set the bar for every zombie film that has been made since.
when you actually get down to the details this is not really a film about zombies… this is a film about how we as humans react and bond during extreme environments and with extreme change. It’s also a kinda statement on how we rely so much on our material possessions that we almost loose all sense of individuality and identity, in the way the main characters are always trying to build a classy, expensive looking home, even when the dead have taken over and there is no one to show, among other subtle little digs through out the film. Deep, ano right ;D
as far as the film itself goes…to today’s standards its obviously not going to seem scary and stuff, but you do have to give them credit for the amount of ‘spiecal effects’ and gore they tried to do. I thought the story was really good…the bikers at the end maybe felt a little ‘Mad Max’ for me, but again it is an old film now.
I felt for the characters as the film went on and you could see them beginning to settle in before all hell breaks loose… Other scenes such as when Peter (I think?) has to shoot two kids, and you can sort of see the mixed emotions in him, and the scenes where the first human to turn into a zombie is slowly getting more and more insane sounding ect. that makes you realise just how well acted this film was. Good ol’ George A. Romero (Director) did an awesome job picking roles.
Things  I didn’t like?… the intro was kinda…busy…. I get what they were doing and stuff, like trying to make it seem like everything was getting hectic and all organisation and control was gone…. but i just thought it was busy and annoying…. but each to their own.
tbh this is a cult classic. Just one of those films that you will really enjoy but not really  know why you did :P  It’s not as fast paced / gory as its 2004 remake… But Peter is played by the dad from Kenan and Kel! so that’s auto awesome right there ;D
one more off my “1001 films you must see before you die”

Hello to all the followers I have left XD

So I basically haven’t been able to write on here for ages now. I’ve been really really busy with college work and filming for my zombie short film, ‘In Sickness’ (which is going epicly btw, might spam with pictures at some point ;D)

So I thought as its been zombies keeping me away, I would review a Zombie film from ma magical “1001 movies you must see before you die” book.

Also, from now on I’m going to make a real point of reviewing at least one film a week from now on, whether it be from the book or not :)

So i guess I’ll write back here in a couple hours after the movie :D

Muchlove and that. xo

The Wrestler (2008)
‘The Wrestler’ follows a faded wrestler named Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson, who used to be a household name, but now wrestles in small clubs on weekends and works in a supermarket by day, as he struggles to cope with making a new life outside of the ring.
This is actually one of my favorite films. It deals with the ideas of loneliness and trying to find a place to belong. Randy is obviously not the man he used to be but is stuck in his ways, feeling that wrestling is the only place people actually care about him. He regularly visits a strip club even though its obvious he can’t really afford it, because this is the only place away from the ring he has any sort of connection with anyone - namely a dancer called Cassidy, who is in a similar sort of position to randy, as she is far older than her ‘co-workers’, but doesn’t know any other way of life.
The film seems to give a really original and realistic touch to an almost cliché story (Think along the lines of  Rocky Balboa - not that this film is similar tbh…) scenes such as when he goes to visit his estranged daughter seem very natural, real and Quite upsetting to be honest… in fact quite a lot of this film is upsetting.
As for Production and stuff, its all very well done. director Darren Aronofsky ( Pi, Requiem for a dream and most recently Black swan) adds a pretty distinct style to all his films, no matter what the genre, and this is no acceptation.
Micky Rourke is amazing as Randy, and that’s from someone who really doesn’t like him too much. He seems to fit the role perfectly. apparently their other choices for Randy were Nicholas Cage or Bruce Willis, which wouldn’t have worked at all! I can’t think of anyone who would have been so believable and give such an energetic performance as Rourke.
I deffently reccommened this film to pretty much everyone, IT’S NOT A FILM ABOUT WRESTLING! people think it is and it tends to put them off.  Also I love the ending of this film! I can’t really say much more about it but yeah! Seriously worth watching.
